The carriage was stopped about a mile from the gate of Yingtian Academy.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

"What's going on? There's no traffic jam ahead, why won't they let us pass?" Yang Ruohua was extremely surprised and lifted the car curtain to look outside.

Luo Fengtang rode his horse alongside the carriage carrying the mother and son, saying, "I'll go ahead and take a look at the situation..."

“Father, there’s no need to go.” Chen'er opened her eyes and stretched lazily.

Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruqing both looked at Chen'er in surprise. After stretching, Chen'er said: "Yesterday, carriages were not allowed to pass here either. All carriages were stopped, and even peddlers and commoners were prohibited from passing. This is the rule of Yingtian Academy. Nearly a street has been cleared, and students have to get off their carriages and walk."

>

After hearing Chen'er's words, Yang Ruqing suddenly understood.

Suddenly, I remembered my past life. During the days of the college entrance examination and the junior high school entrance examination, the schools near the examination points also prohibited honking horns for a long time.

Well, Yingtian Academy truly lives up to its reputation as the best academy in all of Da Qi, even on this entire continent. It's clear they've thought of everything.

>

Of course, in Daqi, only the dean of Yingtian Academy could probably wield such supreme power to clear an entire street.

It can be seen that the royal court of Qi Dynasty attaches great importance to Tianshu Academy.

This is the alma mater of countless famous people, scholars, and high officials!

“Okay, then we respect the academy’s rules and walk over.”

After figuring it out, Yang Ruqing smiled brightly and grabbed her bag to get off the carriage with Chen'er.

Luo Fengtang had dismounted by now. He gave his horse and carriage to the coachman and then walked up to his mother and son, reaching out to take Yang Ruoheng's bag.

Looked at Chen'er again: "Let's go!"

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate! ?

Chen'er nodded, and the three of them chatted and laughed as they headed towards the academy.

The closer we got to the academy gate, the more students we encountered along the way who were here to take the exam.

There are also people accompanying them behind, as well as book boys and so on.

There were even some people wearing strange and exotic clothes, and they seemed to be made of very high-quality materials.

Yang Ruqing speculated that this might be students from other countries. Currently, Da Qi is a powerful nation on the mainland, and many small countries under its jurisdiction often send people to learn about Da Qi's culture and knowledge.

And some war-defeated countries also sent princes to serve as hostages. Therefore, at the entrance of Tianshu Academy, scholars from all walks of life gathered together, which was not surprising at all.

Some were full of ambition, speaking with others in a jovial and animated manner, as if they already had victory in their grasp. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

And some, with careful steps and fearful hearts, would walk, clutching a book in their hands.

Sometimes it's necessary to stop and carefully review a few pages.

Looking at Chen'er again, Yang Ruqing found that her son didn't look like he was here to take an exam at all. He seemed more like he was here for a sightseeing trip.

And among all these students, he was definitely the youngest. The others looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with some perhaps in their early twenties.

Those aged twenty-five and above, Tianshu Academy explicitly stated, are not allowed to participate in the examination.

As a student, if you are 25 years old and have not achieved any fame, it means your potential and aptitude are just average.

Yingtian Academy only accepts the elite among the elite!

"Chen'er, are you thirsty? Are you hungry?" The family of three stopped under a tree at the entrance of the academy. Yang Ruqing turned to Chen'er and gently asked, placing her hand on his shoulder.

This is just a simple example. Please provide me with the content you would like me to translate! I'm ready when you are. ?

Chen'er shook her head and smiled, patting her small belly: "I had two boiled eggs and a bowl of congee this morning, I'm full!"

“That’s good then.” Yang Ruqing said, glancing around, “What do you want for lunch? Mom will go to that restaurant nearby and make a reservation in advance. After you come out from the exam, we’ll have a good meal!”

Chen'er said: "Mother, you decide. Chen'er doesn't mind what she eats."

“Good boy, my son!” Yang Ruqing gently patted Chen’er's head.

Chen'er looked up and smiled at her.

On the sidelines, Luofeng Tang stood smiling at the mother and son. The usual icy face that made people tremble was gone, replaced by warmth and tenderness.

>It's about time, we should be able to go in now.

Luo Fengtang suddenly said, and raised his chin to indicate the direction of the academy gate.

As expected, the teacher who was in charge of the exams came out and began to line up the examinees who had been waiting outside according to their order.

The invigilator was checking related examination certificates and the like documents, then allowed the examinees to enter the hall.

Yang Ruqing and Luofeng Tang also hurried to send Chen'er over to join the queue. Everyone in the line, seeing this little Chen'er was also taking the exam, were all incredibly surprised.

Yang Ruqing straightened her back, her face filled with pride and self-confidence.

Chen'er finally entered the exam hall, and at the entrance of the academy, Yang Ruqing began to become as flustered as thousands upon thousands of other examinee parents.

"Sigh, although I told Chen'er to just do his best and not worry about the results, my heart is still pounding like crazy, up and down."

Her eyes had been glued to the entrance of Yingtian Book Academy ever since Chen entered. She hadn't taken them off for a single moment, her gaze fixed intently on what lay within.

Even though she couldn't see anything inside, she still looked.

“I wasn't like this before, I used to be decisive and quick to act. What's gotten into me today? This inconsistency in my words and actions is driving me crazy!”

She sat there, her hands cupped under her chin, sighing with a pout.

Luofeng Tang smiled and squatted down beside her, placing a hand lightly on her shoulder.

"Then tell me, what are you so worried about?" he asked.

“Both of us had the same original intention. It's great if Chen'er gets into university, but it doesn't matter much if he doesn't.” He continued.

"As parents, we're not extraordinary elites or prodigies. We just put in a bit more effort and have a bit more luck than the average person."

"Since we ourselves can't reach the level of excellence, there's no need to force our son Chen'er to do so either. So, don't get agitated anymore." Luofengtang said.

Yang Ruqing rolled her eyes at Luofeng Tang: "People have said it many times, I'm not forcing Chen'er to take the exam or not."

"What worries me is that if Chen'er really doesn't pass the exam, I'm afraid this child's self-confidence will be hurt."

“That’s what worries me the most. You silly goose, you just have to say I'm two-faced! I'm not that kind of person at all. What I care about isn't the exam results, it's Chen'er's confidence and positivity!”

After hearing Yang Ruqing's words, Luo Fengtang fell silent for a moment. He also felt that her worries were reasonable.

"Qing'er, we must have confidence in Chen'er," he said.

Even if he didn't get in, his confidence and motivation would be affected, which is something he has to go through.

"He is only seven or eight years old. He has a long road ahead of him, and there will inevitably be bumps along the way,"

“We can't pave the way for him every step of the way, and we don't have that much energy or ability. So in the end, it still depends on him. Only when he faces setbacks and gets back up again will he become braver. I believe in my son Luo Fengtang, he's not a coward!”
